A Strange Visitor at Sorrento.

Sunday morning, the 10th. the people ofthat
part of the town Of sullivan known as Sorren-
TO were somewhat excited by the report that a
huge black bear had been seen there. The
blacksmith's horse was badly frightened by the
scent Of the animal and in his frantic efforts to
get away broke both tugs, but hauled the
wagon and driver safely up a steep hill simply
by the strain on the reins. Other employees saw
the animal cross the road. Jump the fence and
his tracks plainly tcld where he had crossed
Bass Cove. Men, boys. guns and dogs were
called into requsition and many staid Old
citizen forgot the day set apart for worship
and looked after his iocks. But bruin was too
cunning for his enemies. He had evidently
been here before and knew his ground for no
one had been able to make his acquaintance
except one man whose gun was loaded for Il
partridge aud he having an opportunity to
shoot thought caution the better part of val
or and did not fire. Whether the bear got dis
gustcd with the evidence of civilization
wrought at Sorrento aud left during the night
is uuknown at any rate he created as much
sensation as any distinguished visitor who has
ever visited this point. Perhaps this is the
same bear which ha, periodically made sorrento
his watering place in fact the pioneer there,
taking snih Of the salt, salt sea, and a
lunch on mutton chop at any farmers cafe
aud then returning to hi~ forest home.'
I'VE learn that this bear on Monday after
noon. the Eth. swan from sorrento, across
Point Harl,pr to rrrbIe'> Island, thence during
Monday night 10 Calt Island. and that he was
seen later at sullivan IN the vicinity ~ tues
er's mountain I'd.
